Yesterday, Centurion announced its maiden foray into the UK with the proposed acquisition of three student accommodation assets in Manchester and one in Liverpool, with a total of 1,906 beds, for SGD164.5m. This could be its largest acquisition to date. We like this proposed acquisition, which could boost FY15 revenue and earnings by 18% and 9% y-o-y respectively.
Maintain BUY, with a higher DCF-derived TP of SGD0.91 (out of below four research house)

Heavy volume near closing and drove up the price. Look positive again after resting for 2 months. Hope for more up and up!
Volume heavy today with upward price movement. I like this counter especially now they are expanding to overseas accommodation business.
Centurion is like an ATM for Han. His losses at Sysma may prompt him to unload shares when he needs the money.
Up by 2 cents liao. Look like more to come.
This stock Han and Loh in control. Valuation is up to what they want it to be.

Centurion making its foray into student accommodation business in UK! More growth in the pipeline.
Special interim dividend of 1/2 a cents per share. Sweet! 
Rather accurate, thumbs up.

Centurion : Still in play ?
Centurion, After pull back for past few days, Today it shows another buy signal, support level is obviously at 0.70 and resistant is at 0.795. If you decide to enter, place stop loss 1 or 2 bit below the support level. 
 
 
...last:$0.735...
Is this the same 1 cents stock last time Centurion...........
Strength on the recent upside seems to show signs of slowing, with RSI, Stochastics and MACD all sloping downwards from the overbought regions. Support at $0.71 followed by $0.64 Resistance at all-time high price of $0.795.
Hard to reach target lah.   It may stop even before 0.80 and tumble down again.

Centurion Corp- Raising the roof   UOB Kay Hian
(CENT SP /BUY/S$0.74/Target: S$0.92)
We initiate coverage on Centurion with a BUY recommendation and a street high target price of S$0.92. As one of Singapore' s largest operators of workers' dormitories and the only listed one, Centurion is an investment proxy for the rising demand for quality accommodation targeted at foreign labour. 
Centurion (CENT SP, OU8)
Take profit from our previous technical BUY
Last price: S$0.735
The stock was featured as a technical BUY with an initial target of S$0.68, when it opened at S$0.615 on 4 Mar 14. We had technical updates for the stock on 12 & 27 Mar 14 with a revised target of S$0.75. The stock has since returned +19.5% on closing price, without hitting below the stops/trailing stops mentioned earlier. 
 
Some profits could be taken off the table should the stock fail to close above S$0.80 or retrace below S$0.72 in the next few trading sessions, as its 14-day Stochastics indicator has formed a bearish crossover in the overbought region and could turn down.

key diff here similar company- agree, is whether got funds invested in n them n play up or not?
company v good solid solid etc, is very good i agree, end day if u want it to move, got bb or funds involved to play up or not? key question one must ask buy n hold strategy is good, but some will just stay there, no one to help to fry up.
